Well, both opening of files or folder in Nautilus with single-click-to-activate mode and following links in Firefox happen on mouse-up. Thus a drag is guaranteed to be interpreted as drag. > Wouldn't be a good compromise if files could be opened with a > single click *if the file is already selected*?

You would get rid of the pesky timing issue, but introduce state and still require 2 clicks for the most common action (if opening is not the most common action on files or folders, I would suggest something is going wrong). -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
